New Jersey expands family leave starting July 2026, lowering eligibility and employer size requirements, with job protection for up to 12 weeks.
New Jersey is expanding its Family Leave Act starting July 17, 2026, lowering employee eligibility to three months of work and 250 hours, and reducing employer coverage from 30 to 15 employees, with further reductions to 10 and then 5 employees by 2028 and 2029.
Workers gain job protection for up to 12 weeks of leave for family or medical reasons, including childbirth, adoption, or caring for a family member, and must be reinstated to their original or equivalent position with the same pay and benefits.
The law allows flexibility in using earned sick leave, temporary disability, and family leave benefits, though not simultaneously.
Employers must update policies to comply.
